[Intro 1]
[C][G]

[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]A man darkened
our doorway
He said he's here to share
the good news
He had a smile straight
from the movies
But when I looked down at his shoes
There were [F]holes and they
showed his toes
The right was left. The
black was [C]brown
And later [G]on in the garage I couldn't
find my [F]chainsaw
In the distance I [C]heard trees
just falling down

[Verse 2]
I was [C]underneath the city I was
riding around on trains
Fell asleep before Nassau Ave.
And I ended up in Maine
[F]There were big tall trees
and rocky coastline
And the waves came [C]in so wild
But for [G]all the natural beauty there were still so [F]many kids that
were asking me [C]for something that could help them to get high

[Verse 3]
We're all [F]good. We're all bad
[C]We're euphoric and we're sad
[F]We roll the rock away and
check the [C]tomb
We're [Am]awake and we're aware that
we're con[C]fused and cold and scared
And the [F]cross reminds us that He
died [G]for me and you
Woke up in the ocean with the
[C]Honolulu Blues
[F][C]

[Verse 4]
Joan Didion and Graham Greene
Said roughly the same thing
You bring your Jesus to the jungle
Try to teach people to sing
All the [F]hymns that [Eb]you love because you [F]learned them
as a kid and they make per[C]fect sense to you
There's a [G]point in time
when thousands die
And you've [Eb]got to maybe [F]think that maybe
Jesus isn't [C]getting through

[Verse 5]
[C]We're freezing in the forest
There's no wood to heat the house
We took axes ti the furniture
We pulled the floorboards out
[F]There's animals scratching at the door
And they know we're gonna [C]die
There were [G]big tall trees
and rocky coast[F]line
And the waves came in [C]so wild

[Verse 6]
We're all [F]wild. We're all free
We're [C]all back from Tennessee
With the [F]souvenirs to prove
that we were [C]there
We're [Am]fly ing round in planes
We're rid[C]ing around in trains
[F]Searching out those panoramic [G]views
Woke up in the ocean with
the Honolu[C]lu Blues

[Verse 7]
[C]
We're [F]all good. We're all bad
[C]We're euphoric and we're sad
We [F]roll the rock away and
check [C]the tomb
We're [Am]awake and we're alarmed
[C]at the scars scratched in your arm
The [F]cross reminds us that
He died for [G]me and you
Woke up in Oahu with the Hon[C]olulu Blues.
